Power, power and more power

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drill is a monster. It just eats up everything I have put it through with ease. I haven’t gotten to concrete yet but going through angle iron, OSB and dimensional lumber it just flies. I was able to bore with a spade bit with ease and cutting with a hole saw was just as easy. I saw the anti-rotation technology on the drill and thought let’s put that to the test out of the box. I put on a 4 1/4” hole saw and went to work on 3/4” plywood and never once felt like my wrist going to snap off. Anytime the drill got caught it would stop after just a slight snag and I would release the trigger and start again. It was fantastic in that regard. The light is very bright and adjustable in several angles with 3 different settings. The 3 speed adjustment helps control the power and that’s important as the power on this drill is just incredible. The size of the drill is impressive as it’s about the same length as a compact brushless drill back to chuck tip. It’s definitely got more girth as it’s about a full inch wider but I think that’s because of the more powerful motor this thing packs. My only complaint is the weight of this drill. It’s still lighter than some but when you put a 5 ah xr or a 5 ah power stack on it, the drill and battery is close to 7 lbs or over. If you bore a hole and take a break it’s not bad but for repeated drilling I can see it creating some fatigue. You get a lot of extra power but that comes at a cost of added weight. It’s definitely worth the weight for use as a larger hole saw as the anti rotation technology will save your wrist and that’s typically not a continuous one right after another like boring holes for wiring but for some applications it will be too beefy and a lighter drill will is preferred. Overall if you need speed and power this is tough to beat.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Secret weapon in the toolbox

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drill has unreal amount of power and torque. On hammer mode, its drills holes in solid concrete and block without no issue. Has 3 speeds which you need to regulate speed at times because it’s so powerful. Out performs my dewalt sds drill by a mile

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drill gun is a brick house. I would purchase this drill gun over and over if I had to when I use it. I feel like nothing can stop me. In a sense of how powerful this thing packs a punch, a must buy in my opinion
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beast of a drill with some nice features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is a beast of a drill! With some great features. It is a big drill capable of big jobs. But not so big or heavy that it feels uncomfortable. I used it with a 5ah Powerstack battery and it felt very balanced in my hand.
I used it to drill 4" holes with a big hole saw bit. And this is one area where it really shines. If you've ever drilled big holes, you are likely aware of how hard it can be on your wrists when the bit catches. The anti rotation feature on this drill cuts power when a hard catch is detected. Saving your wrist from the sudden jam and twist.
I also used it for hammer drilling tapcons into concrete. The hammer function was good and strong and didn't seem as loud as my older hammer drill.
Another nice feature is the adjustable light for obvious reasons. 3 speeds, with hammedrill, drilling and driving options with a clutch.
As a contractor, I will get plenty of use out of this drill. It probably won't be the most used drill I own, as it is a bit heavier than my all day everyday drill. But when I need more torque and/or the safety features, it will be my goto. It will be perfect for drilling through concrete, stone, tile, block etc. and any holesaw work. Or anywhere where the added light might be of benefit.
Overall I highly recommend this drill, especially for contractors and the advanced diyers. Dewalt has created another great product.
